Nihilism is worth more for finding oneself in my opinion; is this not the goal of spirituality? Nothing has inherent value, but there are purposes within specific guidelines (usually human-created) that do not go against Nihilism, such as the worth of a machine for doing an assigned topic.

--------------------So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.

If you can find a soul to kill you might be able to test it. So far my soul stays well hidden. Someday if I catch it out I will take a picture of it.

--------------------"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

I would need access to a selection of souls from a random cross section of humanity that would then be subjected to empirical tests...

but that's relative to the individual, nihilism may be the best for you but other people find they are helped the most by a different philosophy/teaching. for some people zen buddhism may be useful, for others the teachings of jesus christ. i think the worth of a specific philosophy or spiritual teaching is relative to the state of consciousness of the person using it.
